12. Benstonea celebica (Warb.) Callm. & Buerki View in CoL , comb. nova.

≡ Pandanus celebicus Warb. View in CoL in Engl., Pflanzenr. 3(IV, 9): 80. 1900.

Typus: INDONESIA. Sulawesi: s.d., Warburgs.n. (holo-: B [ B100279969 ] image seen ; iso-: FI [ FI003942 ] image seen).

Distribution and ecology. – Benstonea celebica is restricted to Sulawesi ( Indonesia) ( STONE, 1978).

Observations. – The delimitation of this taxon remains challenging. The fruiting material deposited at Bwas apparently destroyed, but a photograph is deposited at FI. According to WARBURG’ S description (1900), B. celebica is morphologically very similar to B.pachyphylla (Merr.) Callm. & Buerki . STONE (1978) has suggested that these two entities may be conspecific, but in the absence of fruiting material we have opted to maintain them as distinct until new collections are available.
